If Matt Gaetz forces a vote on ousting Kevin McCarthy, House Democrats will have to decide what to do. One top Democrat is floating bailing him out — if he puts an end to the Biden impeachment inquiry. "Listen, we've been here waiting to have Kevin McCarthy ask for our help in governing responsibly," said Clark. "If Kevin McCarthy chooses to... get back to work for the American people, to do the right thing, we're going to be there to, you know, meet and compromise with him." "I think Kevin McCarthy is a horrible speaker."

☆ Leaked photos said to be a Russian submarine hit by Ukrainian missiles show severe damages that look beyond repair

Ukraine's attack on the Sevastopol shipyard last week left a Russian submarine in rough shape. New photos leaked to social media indicate the submarine may be beyond repair, a naval expert says. The attack damaged two vessels, including the Kilo-class attack submarine Rostov-on-Don, and was the latest in a string of assaults on the peninsula, which Kyiv has vowed to liberate from Moscow. It also published satellite imagery showing the damaged Sevastopol shipyard, with a zoomed-in view of the submarine. Britain's defense ministry cited open-source evidence in suggesting that the Minsk had "almost certainly been functionally destroyed."

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge who rejected efforts by former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to move his charges in the Georgia election subversion case to federal court is set to hear arguments Monday from former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark on the same issue. Clark is one of five defendants seeking to move his case to federal court. While the ruling could signal an uphill battle for Clark and the others, Jones made clear he would assess each case individually. The practical effects of moving to federal court would be a jury pool that includes a broader area than just overwhelmingly Democratic Fulton County and a trial that would not be photographed or televised, as cameras are not allowed inside federal courtrooms. The law allowing federal officers to move a case to federal court “is designed to protect legitimate federal authority from state and local interference, not to afford a federal forum to individuals who blatantly sought to misuse the weight of federal authority to interfere with matters of state control,” prosecutors wrote.

A lawyer for Hunter Biden asked a federal judge Tuesday for permission to withdraw from the case, citing the likelihood he will be a witness to failed plea negotiations in the criminal case against the son of President Joe Biden . In a filing over the weekend, Hunter's lawyers wrote that the diversion agreement is "valid and binding." In his withdrawal request, Clark said his stepping down from the case "is necessitated by recent developments in the matter." "It appears that the negotiation and drafting of the plea agreement and diversion agreement will be contested, and Mr. Clark is a percipient witness to those issues," the filing said. He also expected to sign a diversion agreement, which related to his charge of possessing a gun while being a user and addict of illegal drugs, approved by Judge Maryellen Noreika.

The new indictment against Donald Trump describes how he tried to stay in power after losing the 2020 election. But Jeffrey Clark, an alleged co-conspirator in the new indictment against Trump and a top Justice Department lawyer at the time, had a different answer: Call in the troops. On the same day that Clark suggested using the Insurrection Act, according to the indictment, Clark had also maneuvered to try to make himself Acting Attorney General. His aides drafted a proclamation to use the law, according to The New York Times, but Trump never followed through. Even as Trump considered putting Clark in charge of the Justice Department, he knew he truly lost the election, according to the indictment.
